First Class: Greetings, Cadets. I say this while many of you now outrank me, due to battlefield promotions and the like. We also are greeting those joining us via subspace like across several dozen planets, starbases, several hundred starships currently on assignment, as well as our new colleagues joining us remotely from New Talax and Kobali Prime. The purpose of this class is to gain familiarity with a few of the thousands of humanoid, sentient, and sapient beings so far encountered. We’ll work from the inside out, and please let me know if there are any species you want to know more about sooner. We’ll eventually get to them all, even if we have to involve Temporal Affairs. That was a joke, class; just in case any of you are here from the future, please excuse yourselves or wipe the next hour or so from your integration, and kindly don’t go to the Temporal Affairs Office to report me for muddling the timestream. Class business: we meet once a week; assignments are collected at that time. If you’re watching via subspace or delayed transmission, your assignments are due 170 hours after the receipt of the transmission of the class here. You should all have my contact information; Please see myself, Commander Lurrie or Lieutenant Commander Polk with any questions or concerns between classes. This class schedule is intended as higher-level Academy credits for those whose terms at the Academy were suspended due to the recent military activity and for those looking to earn additional course credits and commendations while on assignment away from planetside tasks. This is the first of a multi-semester course; We’ll cover principles of humanoid lifeforms in this galaxy, as well as other sentient and sapient life forms who have been encountered by Federation ships or members, and then those whose reports have come secondhand from other species and powers with whom we have current correspondence. And now, here we cover the breadth and length of what to expect this term. We’ll cover the definitions of the following terms and how they relate to exploration, interaction, and diplomacy: Humanoid Sentient Sapient Once these terms are defined, we’ll discuss what is known about ancient humanoid species, the Preservers, and how these ancient races made sure that bipedal, two-armed species with a generally discernable neck and head structure housing a brain became the dominant spacefaring species type. We’ll begin with the first Federation species - Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, Tellarites - and work towards other major species. Federation species we look forward to learning about include Betazoids, Deltans, Denobulans, Rigellians, Benzites, Bolians, Caitians, Halliians, Ktarians, Risians, Trill, Zakdorn, and several others. We’ll also look at our newly-former foes, the Klingons, as well, as their allies the Gorn, Orions, Nausicans, Letheans, and others Other notables species of the quadrant include the Romulans, Remans, Cardassians, Bajorans, Ferengi, and Tzenkethi, after which we’ll discuss various Gamma Quadrant and Delta Quadrant species encountered in the last half-century. We’ll then delve into species that depart from the humanoid definition and how that changes the equations. Examples of these species include Tholians, Horta, Q, Bzzit Khaht, Changelings, Devidians, Crystalline Entity, and the Undine. We’ll also compare and contrast various species and how small genetic and morphological changes interact with their home planets, other species, and how inter-species breeding is achieved with help from our colleagues in the sapient genetics section. For your first assignment, you are to spend around 250 words - or between 200 and 300 for the pedantic among you - describing your own species or background of species. For your second assignment, y…

The annual "Truly Outrageous" panel on the Dragon Con American Sci-Fi Classics Track focuses on the women of classic sci-fi who influenced the panelists as children and young adults.  While usually a fan panel, this year, we were joined by the one and only Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax) to discuss our favorite female heroes of classic sci-fi and discuss some of the bigger issues and questions surrounding the representation of women in science fiction.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "A Matter of Perspective," Commander Riker is on trial for murder. He tells his story, but the widow of the dead man tells a different story that tears holes in the story told by Riker… and Counselor Troi says neither person is lying. Meanwhile, an unknown something is tearing holes in the Enterprise. How can both of these mysteries be solved?
